He further added "It’s different in the industry because all of the solutions available to independent advisors today don’t have an integrated custody platform as well."
Regarding the platform Onofrio said that it will have integrated portfolio management and rebalancing systems, an automated fee system, apart from producing performance reporting statements, which will ultimately leqad to advisors spending more time with their clients.
The platform is also fully unified, equipped with household capabilities, as opposed to taking an account-based approach, which Onofrio termed as "household-centric or model-centric."
While the firm will begin transitioning more advisors to the platform at the end of 2012, Onofrio expects the entire client base to be upgraded to the new system gradually over the first quarter of 2013.
